OVERVIEW
FortiWeb’s web application firewall (WAF) protects mission-critical web apps from known and unknown vulnerabilities. Advanced ML-powered features increase security while decreasing managerial overhead. Anomaly detection, API discovery and protection, bot mitigation, and advanced threat analytics are all capabilities that can be used to spot the most important threats across all protected applications.
FortiWeb: Web Application and API Protection Use Cases
Web applications and APIs have emerged as the preferred tools for developing mission-critical applications, and those applications must keep up with the demands of the company. FortiWeb provides the performance, manageability, and breadth of protection needed to safeguard these modern web apps.
WEB APPLICATION SECURITY
Block known and zero-day threats to applications without affecting legitimate users or requiring the excessive management overhead required by conventional application learning.
BOT DEFENSE
Block malicious bot activity while allowing legitimate business bots, such as search engines and health and performance tracking tools, to operate normally.
API DISCOVERY AND PROTECTION
Safeguard the APIs that allow B2B communications and provide support for your mobile applications.
SOC OPERATIONS
Use Threat Analytics to consolidate raw event data into a clear picture of the most significant threats.
FortiWeb's WAF Solution
FortiWeb WAFs offer advanced protection for your web apps and APIs against known and unknown threats. FortiWeb protects against the OWASP Top 10 and more with an advanced multi-layered strategy. FortiWeb ML customizes application protection to provide robust protection without the time-consuming manual tuning needed by other solutions. FortiWeb uses machine learning to detect anomalous behavior and, more significantly, to distinguish between malicious and benign anomalies. The solution also has strong bot mitigation capabilities, enabling benign bots (such as search engines) to connect while blocking malicious bot activity.
FortiWeb provides deployment options that can safeguard corporate applications regardless of where they are hosted. Hardware appliances, virtual machines, and containers can be installed in the data center, in cloud environments, or in FortiWeb Cloud WAF as a Service, a cloud-native SaaS solution.
